Hello everyone,
I have been promoting casinos for the past few years, mainly focusing on slots, roulette, blackjack, etc..

Recently I have been contacted by a friend who has a unique way to attract poker players and is interested in cooperating with me.

Anyway, I know how the revenue share deal works, but in Texas Hold'em I need some clarification.

let's assume I have a 35% revenue share deal
The casino takes a 5% rake of each hand.

If my player made a $1000 deposit and lost it all.
The total revenue is $50?

Meaning my revenue is 35% of that $50(minus other fees) ?

I mean, my player lost to another player. Not to the casino.
The only thing the casino earned was the rake? Am I right?

Please, help me make sense of this.

Thanks in advance

I'm not a poker affiliate but I understood it to be as follows, things may have changed:

You would get a percentage of the rake, so if your player is a really good player and generates a lot of "rake" for the poker room you would get a percentage of that, less fees. Your player could deposit $10 and go on to build it up $10,000 over 2000 hands, then lose it all in one hand. You would earn your percentage of each rake the player generated for the house per winning hand.

Correct yes, for poker the revenue driven is a function of the amount the player raked. Not what they lost to other players.
